he brought us to the top of the podium and was largely untroubled as he started from pole position and held the lead for the entire race he said at the top of the overall championship standings $36.00 points ahead of leading into next week's austrian grown free. watching data we gain is live from berlin up next is the documentary got the devil and rock'n'roll i'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines thanks for joining. us you'd have to get through the plane to sneak a break without a simple fix think again. weeks of excitement and emotion not some. 6 weeks to 90 lives. the results here on d.w.t.

. i. caught. one night in 1955 a prophet of the modern times called elvis presley brought the world of rock n roll to television and he converted to generation of young people craving religious jews . the 5th was out of this world i had never heard anything like it in fact no one hunt. to screw some people said who's this guy who sings like a black man and dances like he's having sex since.

the point to sum it up in mccartney's words he said he's the messiah in this. last . for religious fundamentalists in the southern united states there is only one messiah the heretic and his music must be condemned really don't rock n roll really why i preach against it and i believe that it is a contributing factor you argue without like what you have today why i believe that is because i know how it would be when you think i know what it does to. i know that even feeling that you feel when you think that you were on there was a fiercely at the rock n roll movement because they were convinced it was the devil's music. there were church interventions to prevent that music from being played many concerts were banned. in nutrition.

why blame rock n roll for being the devil's music. or is particularly bent on preserving its values and keeping within certain bounds whatever oversteps those bounds will be the devil's doing it so hard to do it. at the end of the beginning god gazed upon the earth with contentment he called his favorite angel lucifer and showed him his completed work behold the perfection i have created he said proudly. scanning the creation lucifer replied taking a closer look i'm afraid we'll be bored and. outraged by such disrespect god rashly cast him away challenging the angel to do better than him on the 7th day when god rested lucifer to become the devil ceased on the

opportunity he made a present to humanity that god will not soon forget he said let there be rock and there was rock'n'roll. come to us and do rock and roll. derived from the blues and the blues is the music of blacks so that in itself was bad and their logic is a naturally these white people fall threatens because their little world was disrupted is a closeness to. the blues is a profane music that developed far from the churches in the brothels where blacks

would trade a chance of eternal salvation for terrestrial pleasures. from the blues rock n roll also a heritage and a dog legend supplied by singer robert johnson. he was boasting that one night he had made a pact with the devil. to exchange for his soul he had supposedly received the power of putting audiences under the spell of his guitar. all that at that story of the crossroads in the devil that's when robert johnson turned from a lousy musician into a musical genius. the most famous pact with the devil is that of gurkhas faust you sell your soul in your life in exchange for a talent for coffee. robert johnson died from criminal poisoning in 1938 ms body was dumped in

a common grave as if the devil would eventually taken revenge on. the devil is said to act not only on the musician but on music itself it has allegedly taken the form of a note in the musical scale the blue note a diminished 5th semitone with a suppose that hold on the listener. is that bit of magical stuff that seems to. it's a transition it's the no we. gave it's the no you just bend up to or you bend for a while you just pass it in a phrase it's. it's the it's the north it's the it's the girl in the very short skirt in a crowded place you see and then she's go it's a note it's supposed to induce a trance to bring you swing and joy in short all the unthinkable feelings a sort of diabolical note. when that

magical note is mixed with the red hot rhythms of rock'n'roll satanic forces grabbed hold of body in mind. every day and you ask them what it is about rock n roll music that they like i don't think they'll be. rhythm is paramount rhythm meaning that you're carried away swept off your feet but you experience the same feeling to the arts to dance to swing your hips and your legs the authorities just like in dancing is a rhythm that escapes all control a little bit like bhutto it's frightening it must be the devil that makes you jiggle around like that for you. as a puritans it's blatant the devil is using rock music to manipulate the minds and bring about his own revolution. if you look at the etymology of the word itself rock what does it mean it means to shake. and in order to

overpower when you lead revolutions you have to jostle people so if you want to rebel you take the opposite stance and claim your right to be different. it's what heavy metal rock music is best at stating that difference. dance with names such as black sabbath. or even judas priest this music invites its fans to take the road to hell. course many rockers have played with. that's a poser collusion with the devil with. the whole rockers play with the image of satan because it makes for beautiful imagery if you have crosses trinkets bones you have a slightly horrific touch to it all so the devil helps to sell the devils or sales as.

in their efforts to win over followers than start one upping each other. when there are a lot if somebody had a sheep on stage the next band must be had to ship as you always have to go one step further in a way and yes i think it's a marketing strategy. so the. of course outlandish staging is key to the visual style that goes with this type of music. and that's what attracts young people i think. as i said hard metal and even rock music more generally have to piss off goody goody people a little there must be some semblance of provocation. but traditionalists christians refuse to believe that the devil is nothing but a puppet used to frighten self-righteous believers convinced that satan is the real puppet master of rock n roll crusading to protect the young from its evil doings to

swallow look there are demands on you when you feel homesick also who knew some for medical journal that unicorn you wanted you suzanne to do mother the month. of i'm eating junk yes you have it for. you. also they need. to be made. in 1909 some see their beliefs reflected in news stories and accuse marilyn manson of being an influence on the 2 perpetrators of the cause. when buying high school massacre. they needed some sort of scapegoat because it was something that was so shocking to america and the rest of the world at the time that they needed an explanation of why and i seem like an easy person to blame for not in the sentiment manson never called for murder otherwise his songs would have

been suppressed by the law and censored and banned beyond that there's what people want to retain from the lyrics people appropriate lyrics and use them any way they want. sure there are many people today who care for the messages and words conveyed by certain artists which may or may not be provoking actually because primarily you listen to that music or it's energy. momentarily that music unable to let go. well. fundamentalist staunchly believe the opposite they are convinced that there are hidden satanic messages in the songs that you can hear them if you play the record backwards it's called back masking father by champions these views. on a music rock n roll. got

to this when they say there's been back mask and what they say is those lyrics that you listen to are so beautiful once you play them backwards you realize that their oats the devil. led zeppelin's stairway to heaven would conceal praises to satan. so there's a pop back i don't think that led zeppelin wrote stairway to heaven back. that they wrote those words that would sound like. they're. played the other way it would produce extremely sophisticated pieces poems almost as beautiful as keats or shelley it seems absurd but that's the i. via. the beatles are suspected of doing that too in their song revolution 9 father makes his point. i don't want to be. number number number not. only in reverse speech you're supposed to hear turn me on dead man.

i think. you know. if you can. literally scrutinizing the words listening to the music it's endless so if you want to prove which has been done by the way that the bible is a book entirely written by the devil you can. see that's how it is people can say anything they want and they managed to do it. the exam spiration conservatives appeal to public authority. we are asking the recording industry to voluntarily parents who are concerned by placing a warning label in music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics. finally christians organize themselves enough to start putting stickers on albums to warn parents that there might be words in the

songs of those albums that might induce deviant behavior in their children. have all the. rock lyrics that turn from i can't get no satisfaction i'm going to force you at gunpoint to eat me alive. they convinced the authorities to stamp the covers of albums deemed dangerous with a parental advisory explicit content labeled heavy metal albums are 1st in line. and in fact it only keeps away people who are already opposed to that trend rather on the other side from buying these records. so when you're a rocker and by definition you're for shaking the established order and system seeing that stuff. they're actually means by me i mean listen they want to secure 7 so it's a double edged sword it's just good publicity that you make for these albums. however there is a musical genre for which the satanic background is more than provocation and

becomes an agenda black metal. black with. black metal is a subgroup of heavy metal it was formed in the 1980 s. and became popular in the ninety's mostly because of the norwegian scene and criminal acts that made them famous such as the burning of churches and murders. also for acts strongly popularized black metal this black metal bands and stuff but was the ultimate significant call it at the national mall scum dollar. in fact some members of that norwegian scene gathered in a sectarian anti christian group called the black metal inner circle. in the early 1990 s. they ransacked and burned down around 50 churches. so i could give it

exacts true that there were acts that followed up on the very satanist spirit of their music to me that's what gave a sort of mythic touch to that norwegian scene which on top of that came from a rather pagan background so all the ingredients were there to make that music a truly evil experience. most of these extremists were arrested and in 1906 the inner circle was dissolved. only once all calmed down and now you see a black metal scene for the norwegian swedish or whatever as there is black metal made all over the world now you see something much more controlled more organized. funny looks like many other music styles everywhere. you're not into acting out anymore. and satanist provocation is not what truly threatens religion what religion should

fear most is how rock'n'roll tends to challenge its authority and its place in society. 66 john lennon declared christianity will it will shrink and that we are more popular than jesus now. immediately reply to the voice of minister allan montgomery. i think. the basis of statistics and. his statement is i'm sure no one is more popular than. when john lennon said we are more popular than christ it meant transco to concert halls rather than to church or to sunday mass.

it means that with young people there was more excitement to john lennon's music than to go to mass to listen to words that were 2000 years old he's not saying that it's a good thing it's just a statement of fact something stuck. in the end it wasn't rock music because that loss of interest in religion that's just how it was it was a sort of evolution of society. in order to avenge that blasphemy some christians from the bible belt in the us rekindled the anti rock music. and when fundamentalists are angry there are calls to burn the heretic so reluctant to urge teenagers to throw away their treasured beatles possessions with the ku klux klan with bonfires of books on records this while most of longview texas they

seized the opportunity to show their christian zeal so. there was a huge wave of protest radio stations would no longer air the album it's often the records were burnt to the k.k.k. was involved in that scheme they said we have to fight these people typical of the religious bigotry in american society where have you had believers the heat was on the beatles were statements used. to be did. you have said. yes i did as well as helping. these e.m.i. record company insisted john lennon apologize which he actually did and then things fell back into place but still he was forced to apologize. i'm not and it went great. i. think. just then what is. the threat caused by this controversy is one

of the reasons the beatles stopped giving concerts. if john lennon had not intended to offend the clergy in 1970 ian anderson of jethro tull openly criticized the church in his song my god on the op one long album. i suppose i was probably more inspired by the rich tapestry of catholicism with lots of you know ground. aspects of. what to me are close to idolatry really because it's going a little over the top. according to ian anderson the church makes use of a sham god in the artwork inside the album he even stages himself as a desecrate or. i always felt that it wasn't

necessary to go into into a church or any place of worship in order to experience spirituality and i feel more or less the same today i think you can find that spiritual connection and you know you might find it in a sort of you might find it in a. find in a sex shop i mean who knows there's a boundless possibilities for connecting with the world of spirituality in the broad sense. i'm not anti religion but i criticized as i was continue to criticize not the church so much as some of the people whose. degree of power and control that they have within. the hierarchy of the clergy isn't always to my liking but

yes the church like any. society should be open to criticism. rock'n'roll clearly rolls much more against the religious dogmas imposed by the various churches than against religion itself or spirituality spirituality is always unique by nature and universal unique. in you know. it is on such a spiritual quest that the beatles travel to india aiming to revitalize their souls surrounding themselves with gurus and they sing in the purifying ganges river. at the same time in california the same question spiers the hippie counter-culture together young people are looking for another model of society built on values of sharing of peace and love. that's. all this

reflects an urge for change and at the same time a call to spirituality. and this new gospel spreads like wildfire through the music and the concerts which draw even larger crowds of followers. the etymology of religion comes from the latin really gender which means to bring together in this case bring people together and some point religion no longer brings people together but puts a leaden lid on their existence where as rock music does bring them together 1st and that it becomes a new religion people go to concerts together live together have fun together come together on song.

in those years fans and musicians used to commune by taking l.s.d. the chemical wafer that gave psychedelic overtones to the music. group to get in the psychedelic movement appears 1st of all because some writers get interested in l.s.d. and remember l.s.d. was a legal drug back then it wasn't prevented. anything but. you can continue 296465 timothy leary began to write about his experiences with l.s.d. and musicians read his books and started thinking hey let's try smell is t 2 and they got i because l.s.d. makes you feel like you're flying it makes you see colors and lights. because the drugs work as a modifier of perspective so when they smoke joints when they drop acid they see the world differently they sense that there are many possible variations of this

world. easy say they try to explore it's what the doors did try and look what's behind the door break on through to the other side. that exploration goes so far that some rockers are convinced that l.s.d. and their music elevate to some. some of us you can definitely say that because to me music comes from the soul and speaks to the soul has come in shorts music which comes from someone's inner soul was also fun the souls of other people of the audience. just this public i'm stephan musica to his music has always been the vehicle used in all religions. there is not one religion where music is not used. precisely to touch souls and to

sing together with others points to be in communion with others. some use issues are convinced that their music has the holy power to reconnect with god. this is why the grateful dead felt they were sent on a mission to lead a spiritual revolution and why jimi hendrix would refer to his art as electric church music. and so all of the churches are bypassed intermediaries are no longer needed singing is enough at one point to put us in direct contact with the divine director vocal factor because you need to be. on top of supplanting religion rock music also dares to canonize its own saints. to the sea all of it is if you had a limb cut off it is if you find yourself at

a loss and it stays that way even 40 years later you still feel like you have lost a part of yourself also the. ducted one question. of. the very day of presley's death colonel parker who was his manager said that elvis was dead but business went on so the torch had to keep burning the flag that we were. to indulge his passion for elvis. founded a fan club which now has thousands of members. very quickly people asked us for much more so we started to run events we invited elvis's former musicians over we made trips to. to us it was grace that the celebrity. the climax of that journey is to go to graceland the king's mansion to pay their

respects. but after graceland is a part of elvis up the music you know but they want to feel closer to him. at the same time there's the dream taking the trip it's a whole deal. just a communal high sirin these commemorations fans walking their candlelight perceptions and so on. whenever anniversaries mark a decade they bring in tens of thousands of people. people from all over the world organize tours to graceland and elvis pilgrimages. because that's what they are pilgrimages need pruning one company. well there is nothing about you don't have a moment when the person suddenly i mean it's not

a sect even if it's powerful it's not a sect at all she says for people and says. think it's content because. now they say that it is elvis who is. he was a god. and the many sociologist said that the birth of the presently out religion came with elvis is death and it's a little similar to christianity because christianity was born for centuries after the death of jesus from the time when it was taken up by people and they started working on a memory a remembrance that maybe selective memory that may be partial you know it's the same with elvis presley can this question. the worshipping of. that is has the power to create gods but under its trappings of a new fangled religion rock'n'roll remains haunted by its demons.

and some musicians are still afraid of triggering god's wrath. scoured oscar wilde used to say i can resist everything except temptation and rockers don't resist temptation so the best way for them to save themselves from an untimely death is sometimes go back into the fold go back to the faith go back to god for some of their might be their soul chance of survival. at the top of his career in 1957 little richard the brazen creator of the very sexual tutti frutti song has a mystical vision on a flight to australia he says angels and a ball of fire hovering around the earth like he believes it's a divine apparition promising him to the flames of hell right then he gives up rock

n roll and joins a school of preaching jedi throws all his jewels all his precious belongings into the river a gesture worthy of old popular imagery and then he turns to religion and puts an end to his musical career them. some of the many rockers return to religion because those are the values they were raised with so they remain ingrained in their psyches whether they like it or not 1st off. other rockers have followed on the path taken by little richard. it's the case of alice cooper of dave mustaine leader of megadeth band of new comic brian the iron maiden drummer in europe as well some rock n roll and black sheep are also walking back to the flock of christ. was remembered t.f. out. did you see people to school get ready to say been it was every day to be able to say we do it or do we did you know. you should up. next on your student list

because you cannot measure next. class if you put it that what you needed. in his youth followed another past a convert to punk and drugs he was known as. a singer in the rock band sound wishy that rowdy band led by francois g.l.'s the who was a major player of the french alternative rock scene in the 1980 s. and ninety's was it the minister of a legacy was a godsend that could make a living with music travel abroad or i might never love trance it was a beautiful experience when experience in 1902 they bring out an iconic classic album entitled to our common lie to the noisy none which was not to everyone's taste would have been as you or they wouldn't let us play because they thought it was too provocative but we played anyway. though there were places where we were on

wanted or in any case unwelcome. by the general. during the rock years experience is the tragic death of his loved one his last drowning his sorrow and eventually finds comfort not in music but where he least expects it in a prayer book. i don't want to be pleaded or. to suck it up with a bit wanted enjoyment made out of a. special shock magazine that wanted me to do so i took a dip just wanted to just sit back and. watch as many faces i took in 50 p. o. much of i was ready for you to know. this encounter with christ saved him from despair was if you come for me jesus happened very naturally this new strategy underneath this is simple as when i'm talking to you like when you sing. i love you to someone you love it's exactly the same. thing that nobody. after that a tiffany he turned away from rock music to follow jesus and assist his fellow man

. if some apostles of rock music go back to god it's above all to escape the curse ever since robert johnson's infamous found packed the rocker soul belongs to the devil legend has it that satan coming to claim his due cause the death of many musicians including jimi hendrix jim morrison brian jones janis joplin and more recently amy winehouse all of them like robert johnson dead at $27.00 which gave rise to the club $27.00 legend they put. all the so-called cursed poets or cursed musicians you may really put them on the same level as your i do not hold lair jimi hendrix or janis joplin or amy winehouse house they are people capable of bringing so much beauty but their daily lives are so turbulent today they have addictions

it's disaster after disaster so long as it makes you always a lot of. little hawk at the last ice rock n roll tends to gradually ring these musicians dry it's very demanding very exhausting. finally killed many of its practitioners at an early age i guess. but even if rock n roll took the lives of its missionaries it succeeded in winning a mass following in order to recover its ascendancy the church has tried to capture the power of its longtime rival and harness it to disseminate god's word that's chris. rock was before.

the government comes to to entertain making music to entertain people i think we know how to do that but over time we realize that music is also made to carry messages to carry spirituality. what music is not just a string of notes but also has something deeper some musicians may not be aware of that but we are. so the church sold its soul to the devil's music. that god has created music in order to be honored he's created everything that's what i believe he's created this earth all the planets and he is the one who was created music. says seriously there are people who listen to that. well i guess there are.

yes the mass of rockers the sex drugs and rock'n'roll but for others the motto of our music is love love love is love love love. love love love it's only natural because christian rock appeared in the 1960 s. played on the guitars and musicians who believed they recognized the. acid trips and flower power. elite take their cues appropriate or jesus is a rock star because in the end he's almost a naked character no one has got long hair and the common representation he's on armed poses roman rule challenges the authorities he's alone his unique and he's got a rather cool beatnik side to him jesus is a rather trendy guy. i. christen rockers deny the belief that rock'n'roll is the devil's music and launched the jesus movement. in the end the most beautiful words in the world christ's

words are love one another it boils down to that fundamental sentence and we have to get back to that message. like elvis is rock christian rock also moves into more extreme genres such as christian metal. it's now the turn of rock'n'roll to be desecrated by religion which starts using the gloomy magic of heavy metal in spite of its rehabilitation of an old demonic chord from the middle ages to try to help. the trying to own is a musical interval spanning 3 whole tones which in classical music was the symbol

of the devil that causation was like that some boldest toy in its sound it was meant it meant that the demon was coming for instance on stage. and heavy metal like that sound for the same reasons it's good. to do. in the middle ages playing that according to the church would condemn you to the fires of hell. because the false statements which is either i mean i'm cold you see all this very melancholy form of harmony frighten people but music itself is never diabolic. sculpts convinced that metal rock has nothing demonic ministers somewhere who as chosen to make it ala turned to call music he founded the metal church which mixes my. mass and concert metal church this is metal church is an attempt to form a church for lovers of metal and hard rock. before the concert we do

a service because we need it. but if you placed in the americas it's very important for the people who come here to create that connection between christian faith and the metal culture the metal called to. the camera. all the slow. fades. sound. so. to me peace for me metal music is the music of my heart and i think that jesus christ keeps my heart ticking he says can also bake so i do everything i can to make that to work in harmony. i go to a traditional church and i attend mass but here it's more open here you can follow your faith and your style as you are in church there is prejudice against metal

heads you're not really accepted but here it's different you can be who you are and i can share my music tastes with other people but also you know you have to. do a lot of hard rock like satanist black metal is to me like one counter culture attracting another better number of artists to be fed up with religion bashing and decide to promote it is in my eyes as worthy as those who like to challenge it and find there are many things that may look a little out of phase with their image but at the end of the day these extreme styles of music are just one big melting pot of cultures. the sea is converted to rock'n'roll as well. 2014 pope francis in. why did patti smith to sing at the vatican for the nativities concert the singer who claimed in her youth that her only religion was rock n roll very willingly

agreed to on of the invitation if you like her. friends tell her to go. but with pope francis gracing the cover of rolling stone magazine 1 may wonder if rock n roll has sold its soul to god. the whole communities fight city the rock music will disappear because it's played its role its historic role its revolution happened they can't repeat itself 10 times that's why all those revivals are lousy events all i hate them you hope my brother and roll is now accepted by everyone along with all their other consentual types of music with today's rock music is bourgeois because everybody likes rock music to moon and the hook. the devil's music played in the vatican it's hard to say who finally won the duel between them for the last 60 years. maybe some rock music has lost its

demonic nature but it has also allowed society as a whole to change and to keep to date the enemies of the principle that rock'n'roll has always fought for freedom aiming. to go africa. cycling calling you know every coast young artist i just muscling old telephones in transforming. so most of. the creative way is putting a new face on electronic waste. 30
